Cartier
The Platinum Tonneau ref. 2435E
Very attractive example of platinum Cartier Tonneau ref. 2435, manufactured in 2008.
There are few names that rival Cartier’s in terms of lavish lifestyle and Parisian chic.
Louis Cartier was the first to set the design codes of the wristwatch from the perspective of a jeweller.
A pioneer of his time, he believed the beauty of a watch was not just a matter of its decoration, creating icons such as the Tank and Santos in the earliest years of the 20th century.
The size, shape and proportions, the look of the metal and the harmony between bracelet and case were just as important.
He soon became interested in "shaped watches", those with a case that broke away from the traditional round design.
Originally introduced in 1906, the Cartier Tonneau is a barrel-shaped wristwatch precursory to tastes of the Art Deco era that would soon follow.
Both bold and proportionally ideal, today’s Tonneau remains one of the most iconic and elegant timepieces, retaining its original grandeur parallel to its predecessors.
The present example from circa 2000 is a modern interpretation of the acclaimed barrel-shaped model.
Encased in platinum, the silvered guilloche dial with painted black Roman numerals are an instant classic.
Accompanied by Cartier original box and Certificate.
It definitely represents a great example of timeless elegance.
